With Dempsey Bolton’s upbeat anthems it’s hard to tell if it’s his heart that’s breaking or if he’s the heartbreaker. Introspective lyrics layered with punchy beats defines Dempsey’s self-produced indie pop hits. Creating from his studio in Calgary, Alberta, Dempsey has released four singles off his upcoming 2025 sophomore album, “Good Songs, Big Execution.” The album is a self-produced tour-de-force, featuring anthemic choruses and dynamic arrangements. The commitment to continuous releases is aimed at building national and international attention, with Dempsey having recently showcased at Breakout West and MUSEXPO LA.
